Who wants a fecal transplant?

Seriously....my mother does.

She has Crohn's Colitis. She believes a fecal transplantation will bring about a cure.

A young woman in Australia had to have this because after getting home from travelling overseas she had a digestive bug that was slowly killing her. She was wasting away until they did such a procedure that killed the bug inside her and she recovered.

I would try it

The Squid wishes not to be cured. He has learned to work with his aspergers, and even use it to his advantage. The Squid feels as though aspergers may be more of an identity, that one is born with. Perhaps this procedure will bring about some reduced symptoms, or even a cure, but regardless, we will be fine without it.

It doesn't mention the procedure but I hope it is a reverse enema and not introduced from the other end.

Hypothetically if autism could be avoided by this what other neurodiversity might be also avoided? Psychopathy, homosexuality, bi-polar etc. How different would the future be without these things?

Aspergers is a part of who I am. If I didn't have it, I would be practically nothing. I don't want a cure.

Merde!

Fecal transplantation, to my knowledge, has nothing to do with curing autism. I heard it is used in cases of C-Diff infection.

To the Squid: Ever seen a cartoon called "Squidly Didley," which was aired back in the 1960s. He was a smart-aleck resident of an aquarium.

Where do I sign up??

I would happily eat s**t for a chance to be normal.

One caveat: I want the crap donor to be someone I'd like to be. Not any of my friends: One of them has lots of health problems of her own, one of them is probably more Aspish than I am, and two of them struggle so much with their weight and digestive tracts that I do not believe they can possibly have healthy microflora of their own.

Not my husband-- same weight and tender tummy issues as my friends.

I want to eat the poop of a healthy NT with no heavy drug habits and a cast iron stomach.

If I can do that, after some of the stuff I have done in the name of concealing Asperger's, eating literal s**t would be no big deal.

I might be taking you literally LOL

You don't eat the feces: it is injected into you.

Well, that's less gross then, isn't it??

I figured it was probably introduced via NG tube, which other than bypassing the tongue basically boils down to eating s**t.

If I can get it in a needle, so much the better. Where do I sign up??

I want to perform the transplantation.

I want one! My sh*t must be, well...sh*t. Im allergic to life.
